Agree, it doesn't look good.
I have run a block like that for several thousand miles.
High temperature silicon on the gasket, Radweld or similar in the water, careful tightening of the head nuts over several days using a low range torque wrench, going easy on the centre stud.
Run it, check how much water is in 2 & 3 before starting.
If the oil is a lot emulsified there may be another source of water somewhere.
Cheers
